How long does it take to draw the strip? Do you have them drawn before the days and just upload them on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays? Do you have lots of strips planned in your head already, or do you think them up as you go along? Are the characters based on people you know? Finally, where were you on the night of August the 28th?!

1) It depends on how much is happening in the strip. A good estimate is 54-60 minutes. That's without scanning, photoshopping and PS2 breaks.

2) I used to have them done several days in advance but now I'm lucky if I make the deadline. Keenspace's system makes sure that the right comic is displayed on the right day.

3) I plan ahead on storylines (like the current one with cousin Chris was written in July) but I often make up the oneshots on the day of the deadline.

4) I have no interesting friends so a no on that. Eric is based on my cynical side though and cousin Chris is the very same Chriz from this forum. But even though my characters aren't directly based on real people I often use reality as inspiration.

5) I think I was killing nuns that evening. Or was it catholic schoolgirls? Hmm, I forget.
